I'm signed off sick and I'm bored. Since Codders is 'Bah Hum-bugging' and avoiding the christmas name thread, THis is a song just for her

Hake! The Herald Anglers Sing

Hake! the herald anglers sing,
"Coley to the newborn King!
Perch on earth, and monkfish mild,
Cod and sinners reconciled."
Joyful, all mumsnetters, rise,
Join the triumph of the skies;
With th' angelic host pro -clam,
"Christ is born in Bethleham."
Hake! the herald anglers sing,
"Glory to the newprawn King!

You need to change King for Ling (Any of various marine food fishes related to or resembling the cod) and stick another prawn in the 2nd line.

Angelic host = angel fish?
